' Au interesting revival of religion is progressing in the Presbyterian Church, Greensboro; A correspondent of the Reids ville limes given the following: "Mr. Hard ing finished his week's sermons to-night.

And on the same field, the death of Major Tom Smith, of Milton, who requested the sur geon to tell him hia true condition, and the surgeon looked at Mr. Harding to know, and he said to him, 'You needen't fear to tell him, he knows whom he has believed and Major Smith took up the words and finished the quotation, And am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day,' and then breathed bis last. It was an able and impressive sermon. The congregation sang Hold the Fort V Charlotte Observer: It is said that Geo.

There has been a considerable stir in magisterial circles during the past week or two in reference to public roads in this county, or rather one or two particular roads in Cape Fear Township. A few days ago Murphy Ward, a well known co lored man of Cape Fear Township, was bound over in the sum of $50 for his ap pearance at Codrt for removing a footway erected at the instance of Mr. T- R. Wil liams, overseer of the road in question. Yesterday Mr. Williams was arraigned be fore Justice Harriss on the charge of ob structing a public road in Cape Fear Town ship, leading to what is known as Jones' Chapel, and he was required to give bond in the sum of $50 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court; while Ed ward Jones, colored, was arraigned before Justice Hall, on complaint of Mr. Williams, for cutting away a footway over Nesser's Creek, being 'the same allegation - upon which Murphy Ward was boned over, and he was required to enter into the same bond as Ward. . .. ... . Reuben Petbay and Hami Kelley, both colored, were also arraigned before Justice Hall on the charge of refusing to work on a public highway, and were bound over in the sum of $50 each for their appearance at Court. .

In fact it has become immensely popular, not only to the public generally. but to the dealers in spirituous liquors them. selves, who find in it a protection to them selves ia various ways. From all accounts it is decidedly the most feasible - and the most prolific in its results of any scheme that has "ever yet been devised for raising revenue, anu as sucn we iook for its speedy establishment in every State in the Union. It "is designed by the advo- cates of the Bell Punch to introduce it in Wilmington, if found practicable, and to day those who are skeptical on the subject will have an opportunity of judging of its feasibility by being present at the Exchange at the hour designated.

For the Star. FOREIGN TRADE. Letter from col. Edward Vanttvell. . . ' WiLMniGTOir, N. C, March 1ft Editor Star: A convention of exporters, and others interested in the foreign trade of the United States, was ' recently held at Washington City,' and they adopted a Me morial to : Congress and a Bill which I am r requested to call to your attention. The bill . proposes to encourage the establish ment of lines of steamers from all the At lantic ports, or any one of them, by author izing the Postmaster General to contract with any responsible American citizen " for carrying the mails of the United States be tween any such port and foreign countries. The memorial prays Congress to authorize tne ostmaster General to make such con tracts. Copies of the memorial and bill are now: being circulated in the city and inrougnout tne country tor general en dorsement. -1 - i r It is important that no delay shall be had in bringing this matter to. the favorable attention of the North Carolina public. No measure now pending before the, National Legislature, or likely to occupy our own, can compare with this one in the - magni tude oi tne interests involved. It concerns the material interests of the whole Atlantic coast, the restoration of American com merce, and the prosperity and . progress of the port of Wilmington. ' f The CommitteeNm Post Offices and Post Roads, of which ouXdistiaguisbed Repr sentative, Hon. A. UL Waddell, is Chair man, nave already endorsed the plan Of subsidizing lines of American steamers by viicfiug uiucnge vumpeDaaiion ior me carriage of the mails from New York and New Orleans to Brazil, which ensures their early completion and equipment. Of course these facilities will give an immense im petus to the commerce of those cities. The empire of Brazil contains a population oi nearly or quite twelve million of people. and consumes annually two hundred mil lion . dollars worth of foreign products and iaorics, an or wnicn are grown or ean be produced in the United States, more, than two-thirds of them being, most cheaply bought in the Mississippi Valley, in striking reacn and distance oi our Central Railway, and which ought to be purchased there and shipped thence by Wilmington. - the total annual exports of the United States to Brazil are less than eight million of dollars. ' The rest of the trade of that magnificent country , goes to France, Ger many and England. No wonder American commerce languishes, and our flag is super sededat our own doors and-in our own ports by foreigners. ' n is graurying to see our. state repre sented in Congress by gentlemen or large and liberal views of national interest, and the passage of the bill' recommended ; by yoL Waddell will contribute largely to the wealth and development of the commercial and manufacturing ; Interests . of the West and North. The present affords us Of Wilmington and this State a splendid op portunity; , not likely to recur soon of ad vancing jpur special interests. The plan recommended and approved by the Ex porters' Convention, if adopted by Congress; will. I am advised, lead ..to the early estab lishment of a line of steamers between Wilmington and Havana, similar to that which .some may recollect to have yielded sucn profits to one or two bouses In Charleston before : the : war. : Now the Havana steamers land only at New York. Before the war Savannah and Charleston had lines which were immensely profitable. The New York line is too long for profita ble carriage by sea. The Southern route is short, direct, : and less expensive, and the Wilmington route has advantages no other can offer.'- The steamers are ready, and we want only an intelligent and ; reso lute forecast connected with the river, bar. canal and Western railroad communica tions, all centering at this point, and a fair opportunity of competing with New York for the West India trade, which once be longed here, and can be regained, to make the sacrifices and trials of the past twenty years for railroads and the river improve ment, available for creating here within ten years a city worthy of the name and an honor to our State.-. .
